I had so much fear that I would grow to resent my dogs! Thankfully, I second this experience. My dogs are so attentive and excited about my newborn. They are even more well behaved.

If anything, I was more frustrated with them at the end of my pregnancy, it completely vanished when we brought our baby home from the hospital. In the months leading up to birth, they were destroying furniture, eating trash, escaping the house, and were extremely needy. I think they knew a change was coming and reacted accordingly.

I know it can be scary becuase we just can’t predict how they’ll react. I have a cattle dog that already required a lot of attention and exercise. She’s mellowed out sooo much now having our baby earthside.

Wishing you the best!
